The Developer Relations community's mission is to enable, inspire and collaborate to make the Web the primary platform used to create experiences across all connected devices.

We work with product teams to communicate how developers benefit from Mozilla products and open technologies, to achieve our mission and product plans.

We provide information, examples, and direct interaction, online and at events, so that developers (within Mozilla and in the broader Web community) understand and adopt open technologies and products.

We foster the capabilities of Mozillians to communicate about Mozilla's initiatives and values to developers, so that Mozilla's developer community can grow.

DevRel 2014 Goals

Developer Relations has adopted 5 primary goals for focusing our efforts in 2014. The first two are being measured using external industry benchmarks from Vision Mobile.

24.5 % of mobile web developers using open web technologies. (17%, July 2013.)

24.5% of apps developed in HTML5 across all platforms. (17%, July 2013.)

Original goal of 13,000 apps in the Firefox Marketplace; revised goal in June to incorporate quality measure: target is now 6,000 apps coupled with an average of at least one app install per Marketplace visit by consumers (1,448 total app count in July 2013; 4,600 apps with one app instal per MP visit in July 2014)

1,000 developers/month contributing to Developer Relations activities. (473 active MDN doc contributors in July 2013; 710 MDN doc contributors as part of 1073 total active DevRel contributors in July 2014)

30% of web devs that use HTML5 use Firefox Developer Tools as their primary tool set. (15% in July 2014; 21% in July 2014)

A mid-year update on how we are tracking against these goals can be watched on AirMozilla; slides are here.
